Action International Martial Arts Assoc. & AIMAA Scotland
"What separates the A.I.M.A.A from other Martial Arts organisations?" is an important and most frequently asked question. A.I.M.A.A was founded by world-renown martial artist, Grandmaster Hee Il Cho in 1980, and its original goals remain the foundation of the association three decades afterwards. A.I.M.A.A is dedicated to serve as the unifying body for Tae Kwon Do and all other Martial Arts. It is not the intent of uniting systems in terms of styles, but to recognise each style for its unique qualities and to unite the great universal spirit of peace and harmony - the fundamental elements found in the studying of all martial arts. Therefore, A.I.M.A.A has always kept an open mind as to remain progressive with its incorporation of training techniques, and continues to encourage the exchange of ideas for the benefit of all martial arts styles.
